Flooding Mitigation Underway

Erie Shore Drive.

Local authorities are working on ways to alleviate recent flooding on Erie Shore Drive in Blenheim.

The Public Works department is implementing a number of measures to ensure safe and quick drainage of water on Erie Shore Drive.

Large waves in Lake Erie, caused by strong sustained winds over the past few weeks, have caused flooding on nearby properties and roadways.

The municipality says they’ve placed more than 100 concrete blocks along the road to direct the water to a nearby drain. Stone erosion protection has also been placed around the drain to protect the bank and roadway.
